When it rains it pours. One game after suffering heartbreak against the Heat in OT, Trail Blazers’ guard Anfernee Simons hit a game-winner to hand Brooklyn its fourth straight loss. They’ve slipped mightily in the standings, losers in 14 of the last 17 after a 13-10 start.
They’re currently out of a play-in spot with a ton of things to figure out before the trade deadline. For now, they need a win in the worst way possible.
WHO: Brooklyn Nets (16-24) at Los Angeles Lakers (21-21)
WHEN: 10:30 PM ET
